I mean, killing your partner and running away to start a new life, that is a HUGE ordeal. So, we would expect Joe to grieve, to regret, to fear or at least be angry and yet, He tells us the story very casually.
Well, It always seems to me that the reason for this is because Joe has gone completely mad because of this girl and the act of cheating on him, He's beyond emotions and rationality. He didn't feel like he had any other choice but to kill her.
haven't you ever loved madly someone that didn't love you back as much? I bet you have, and I bet you would have done some crazy shit because of that (hopefully not killing anyone)
So before you judge Joe for being a misogynist, although he might be, have some sympathy for the guy.
